In regards to the grade of the DL&W at Dansville, I can't find the thread I read last night when the comments were referencing the need for pushers north bound (west) for freights loaded with coal , but returning no need with empty gons.
Unsure if on this forum or NYS, but my couple questions are:
I presumed the grade was going DOWN from Wayland to Dansville. ( NB) ???????
Did the Erie take over this segment from the DL? If so. did the Erie haul coal or had that diminished by the time of take over?
And lastly, I know the coal on other lines went to be loaded on lake freighters - Charlotte, Sodus Bay and Fairhaven ,but where was the coal on the DL destined?
